Palin Appears To Be Wearing an Earpiece During The Debate

I lived in Womingfor 10 years....90's......I would say that to give Alaska a comparison, Wyoming would be it. About 400,000 people, the Big Apple is
a toss up between Casper and Cheyenne...about 50,000 people each. So to say you are a Governemnt leader from Wyoming.........well how much does it
really say?

I am so glad you could see this on your digital TV. As I was watching this on my computer I told my son that I could tell by her body language that
she was listening to something other than the debate and I assumed that she was being coached.

I am an excellent reader of body language and I can't wait to show my son this thread so that I can validate my observations of Palin.

Is this Sean Hannity posting? I'm an Independent who hasn't made up his mind yet but blatantly partisan posts like this turn me right off.

First off, while Alaska is largest in overall square miles, it is disingenuous to say "it's the largest state in the Union" when, in fact, it has a
total population under 700,000 citizens www.infoplease.com...

Furthermore, she did not "wipe the floor". All she did was not damage the party's chances any further though her not answering questions posed and
changing subjects is the typical tactic for someone who can't answer questions.

As for commanding the National Guard.... You may wish to do a "little" fact checking

According to the Associated Press (8/31/2008), the Governor has "no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National
Guard. The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.

So please, before you post what you pass as "facts", DO YOUR HOMEWORK FIRST!!

I think people can believe she is wearing an earpiece because of her lack of experience. That's why the 12 pages.

I was listening to the radio yesterday and callers were calling in saying that she made interesting movements around her ear when the debate was
called to a close. Did anyone see anything unusual? I didn't.

Besides she didn't answer any of the questions nor did she have any substance so even if she did have an earpiece it would not matter, it only made
her more "folksy" and that's not what most people wanted. Most wanted substance.

Biden was so polished and it was refreshing to see him so presidential.

Perhaps this photo is of the wire that is running into her well disguised earpiece:

Personally, I belive that the candidates often use infra-sound in order to have audio beamed directly at their heads - I think this is what may have
caused the infamous 'Romney whisper';

It was a poorly aimed infra-sound device, and after the "whisper heard around the world" such technology was most likely switched back to the tried
and true earpiece method.

Who remembers the bump on George Bush's back?

Edit: It appears that this 'wire' was originally pointed out on whatreallyhappened.com as a comment underneath the link to the Minnesota
Independent article (wherein the picture can be found). Credit must be given where it is due.

In response to my 'beliefs' and the way you tried to rebut me. Nice try. I apologize if I hurt your feelings in my post, but honestly, 'Sarah
Palin is a Genius'?

I guess you are right, that the Owner and Operator of ATS could have manipulated the images that led me to 'believe' that she had an earpiece. But
then again, his more recent manipulations must have changed my mind.

The 'beliefs' I formed in regard to the 'scripted' nature of Palin's responses had more to do with her completely dodging questions and offering
slogans she bandies from the stump. If her responses were not piped in via earpiece, they were ingrained into her memory without any comprehension to
what she is saying.

Thanks for playing, and don't try distance yourself from your own remarks by labeling others here. Just because someone thinks Sarah Palin is
terrible doesn't mean that they are liberal or a Democrat. Anyone with an ounce of common sense can see that she is a terrible choice for Vice
President. I imagine that many even wonder if she is a capable Governor due to the national scrutiny she has received.

According to the Associated Press (8/31/2008), the Governor has "no role in national defense activities, even when they involve the Alaska National
Guard. The entire operation is under federal control, and the governor is not briefed on situations.

Why were we told by the DNC that Clinton had the experience to be Commander in Chief" because as Governor of the State of Arkansas he was the head of
the Arkansas National Guard???

At first I thought this woman was well coached and had a geat memory. But now, I see that she was getting instant answers like a "puppet" from her
camp. This is rediculous that anyone would even consider Sarah Palin second in charge of running our Nation.

We know nothing about this woman. Her history and the people that surrounded her inside politics in Alaska are sketchy at best. It's almost a joke,
like how stupid can we make the American people look.

Tell me one thing Sarah Palin has accomplished or achieved on a National level that entitles her to hold one of the highest positions and (given
McCain's age) possibly the highest position in our Government. This woman is no more qualified to run our Country than a first grade school
teacher.

Given the war, the economy and the fact she is taking over for the very people who have created this mess, there is no way she can be trusted. How
many questions are still unanswered about 9/11 and the reason for invading Iraq? The dark veil of secrecy that has been created by lobbyists,
Washington lawyers and the bankers both foreign and domestic.

Our time is running out, our soveriegnty is fading and this no nothing woman from a town of 8,000 people wants to step in and take over.

I ignored your U2U because you freaked out and said I attacked you by asking a simple question. You went off topic, you know you did, you even
mentioned the Katie interview which has nothing to do with this. You called her "very scary" and I asked you simple question like how was she scary?
By asking Palin questions anyone could answer? Then you avoided that topic by calling me an Obama supporter. Get over yourself, don't state things
unless you have the guts to defend them.
